Quote:Texas and Oklahoma of the Big 12 have both reached out to the Southeastern Conference about potentially joining the powerful league, a high-ranking college official with knowledge of the situation told the Houston Chronicle on Wednesday.

I wonder who this "high-ranking college official," how serious the discussions are (if true), and whether sharing that information would kill the opportunity. If true, the SEC comes a to full stop.

I would presume the XII backfills to 10 (Cincinnati, Houston) or goes to 12 (BYU, Central Florida) but its more fun to speculate how the XII dissolves.
